SUGAR NEWS.
Interesting Items From Different
Sources.

Below we give several articles per-
tanning to the sugar interest. The first
is from the San Francisco Journal of
Commerce." as follows:
? tFor some years past the sugar market
has been abnormally low, the cause APP
parently being the great increase in the
production of beet sugar in Europe,
which was so large that the surplus of
Germany, France and other countries
even over1owed to America This year
it seems, however, as if the tables had
turned, and as if we were going to have
an advance in prices again The re-
ceipts of sugar in Eastern ports for the
first nine months. of 1887 were 500 1868
tons, against 935, 632 tons for the same
time in 1886. The stock is 81 PIT tons
less than it was year ago. AS receipts
have been 81, 236 tons less, the distribu-
ton has been, therefore, 80 ,959 tons less
than it was for the same time in 1856
that is the distribution of foreign, for we
have not as yet the data of domestic on
hand. 1t looks, though, as if there had
been real decrease in consumption.
Willett & Hamlin, of New York, in
their circular say that the present stock
of sugar in the world is 2OO, 900 tons
smaller than it was year ago, that the
beet crop proves to be 100000 less than
that of last year, and that the production
of sugar in a year has been 100000 less
than the consumption. The outlook is
is for supplies of 6OO, 900 tons less than
they were for the past year. This must
necessarily lead to an advancing market.
so that the combination of Eastern re-
liners is likely for this year at least to
be fruitful in results if not interfered
with from this side of the continent.
The fact that the worlds supplies should
be 100000 tons short any particular year
suggests to us the room that is here for
the establishment of the beet industry
proposed by Claus Speckels.
THE NEW YORK SUGAR DEAL.
Willett & Hamlin, prominent suoar
brokers, send this interesting circular to
to their customers about the new sugar
trust:
It may be considered settled fact
that combination has been completed.

SAN FRANCISCO MERCHANTS.
They Discuss American Interests In
the Pacific Islands.

The regular quarterly meeting of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
was held Tuesday, October 10Th, at the
Merchants Exchange building. After
the minutes had been read and minor
business transacted, the subject of
american Interests in the Pacific
Islands" was taken up and number of
resolutions were read for the considera-
ton of the chamber, urging the Govern
ment to take measures for the proven
ton of the armed occupation of the Sa-
moan islands by Germany, and also to
watch over the interests of the United
States in the Hawaiian Islands, which
might also be threatened at no distant
time
w. w. Morrow, who was present
by invitation, said that the question had
previously come up and it was under
stood that Germany would recognize the
rights Of Americans just as those of her
own citizens.
A Mr.. Crawford, whose interests in
the Samoan islands are considerable,
said that the Germans had in no way in
terfered with his business but they did
all they could to force the natives to
patronize German houses. The German
firms, he said also, were ever ready to
fly to their ships of war which are al
ways on hand to enforce their wishes.
Mr.. Williams said he wished to enter
his protest against the policy entered
into by the United States, a policy
which assumed that the country did not
care who occupied the Pacific islands.
The Chamber of Commerce, he thought,
ought to protest in body against the
interference or occupation by foreign
Power of these islands. He was in favor
of the adoption of the resolutions.
Captain Goodall asked if the state
ment that the interests of America were
predominant, as made in the resolutions,
was correct. He believed that the Ger
man interests were the largest and if so
the assertion to the contrary in the reso-
lutions he thought should be expunged,
as false statement of that sort would
make the Chamber more ridiculous. He
then offered fresh set of resolutions in
which he referred to the fact that the
commercial nations of Europe are under
one pretext or another taking possession
of the different groups of the Pacific
islands. He suggested that the Chamber
of Commerce should recommend to Con
gress the entering into such alliances
with the ruling authorities of such
islands as are not already in the posses
sion of other nations, with a view to Sc
curing to this country the commercial
privileges which its position entities it
to. Captain Goodall then spoke in sup
port of his resolutions at considerable
length, showing how the United States
had, on many occasions, allowed the
opportunities to acquire such islands to
slip through their hands.
Captain Goodall's substitute resolu-
ti0ns were adopted.

Death of Miss Augusta EhrIich.

The Mariposa, which arrived here on
Tuesday last, brought the sad intelli-
gence of the demise of Miss Augusta
Ehrlich, the sister of Mr.. S. Enrich and
Mrs. S. Levy, of Honolulu. The de-
ceased went to San Francisco with her
brother few weeks ago to be operated
upon for a tumor, and although the
operation was successfully performed,
and she seemed to show evidences of
convalescence, yet on the sixth day
afterward she suddenly began sinking
and died almost Immediately. During
her residence here the past few years,
her many friends will bear testimony to
her exemplary character and kindly dis
position. The blow is indeed a most
severe one to hor brother and sister who
reside here, as we'll as to those other

GALVESTON, Tex, Dee. g. In
the Unitod States district court to,
day, Judge Sabin entered a decis-
ION on the habeas corpus case of
Robert c Stockton, drummer for
Kansas ity firm, releasing him
from arrest and custody of the
state authorities for his refusal to
pay the drummers' tax of S35 per
year. The Travellers Protective
Association made a test case OF
Stoeton's arrest. The court declares
law to be void in application to
foreign drummers for tie reason
that it CONFLICTS with section eight
Of the federal constitution, which
give Congress sole power to regu-
late interstate commerce. The de-
cision is an important victory for
drummers of the southwest.
